LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT IN THE THIRD YEAR
Session Description: After being taught in a structured way throughout the first two years of medical school, starting the clinical clerkships can make any medical student wonder how they are going to learn anything. This session will attempt to clarify what to expect when starting out in the clerkships, how to use the clinical environment to your advantage, and what to do if things are not going to plan. It will also discuss how to obtain feedback to improve one’s skills in the clinical arena.
